Solution

The correct option is C Alighting from the train, a passenger fell over a bag on the platform.
Since alighting is the earlier action, it should be transformed into a participle for expressing the logical sequence. Hence, Option C is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to this rule, hence incorrect.
